The Only Way The Christian Life Can Be Lived

“And they who belong to Christ Jesus crucified the evil nature with its dispositions and cravings once for all. In view of the fact that we are being sustained in spiritual life by the Spirit, by means of the Spirit let us go on ordering our conduct. Let us stop becoming vain-glorious, provoking one another, envying one another.”

“For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision but a new creation. And as many as by this rule are ordering their conduct, peace be upon them, and mercy, even upon the Israel of God.”
